World class idiots. They've never owned and learned how to use a gun. Of course guns are deadly. Otherwise why have them? Sheesh...

[bullseye1911]

Owning a shotgun that explodes in your hand when you're using a weapon is a real issue of consumer safety,"

Thank God for Corzine's concern..There's been an epidemic of this for some time! /sarcasm/off

[goldstategop]

Jon Corzine seems to think a safe gun should never be capable of firing a shot. Bwahahahahaha!!!

"Owning a shotgun that explodes in your hand when you're using a weapon is a real issue of consumer safety," he said.

As well as a virtual non-problem.

[Wonder Warthog]

"The Firearms Safety and Consumer Protection Act, introduced by Sen. Jon S. Corzine (D-N.J.) and Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.), would give the Department of Justice authority to regulate the design, manufacture and distribution of guns."

Somebody obviously forgot to tell these two numbnuts the "new Democrat consensus" that the gun control issue was a "loser issue" and that the Democrats "wan't gonna do dat anymo'".

[HiTech RedNeck]

I know the answer: all guns must require an idiotic warning label "DO NOT PLACE FOREIGN MATERIAL IN THE END OF THE BARREL"

[goldstategop]

Yep. The government according to them knows more about guns than the entire experience of the firearms industry combined. That's liberalism for y'all.

[Jonah Hex]

What an idiot. Magazine disconnects, loaded indicators, etc. should be features providing consumers more buying options. Whereas I might choose a pistol with a loaded indicator over another without, there's no way in hell I'd choose a pistol with a magazine disconnect. That's my choice and no congresscritter should interfere in my choice.

This yutz's bill should be retitled "Firearms for Dummies".

[OXENinFLA]

I can't wait to read the text of this one.

I bet there is an "also for other purposes" line affixed to the title.

[Conspiracy Guy]

"Warning, placing barrel in mouth and pulling trigger could result in serious injury." Sheez

[goldstategop]

LOL! I invite these dumb and dumberer to put loaded pistols in their mouths and give us their expert opinions after they've pulled the triggers. That is, if they're still around to give one.

[Puppage]

It's the same garbage that they have in Kalifornia. Gun mfr. can't sell their products there unless it meets THEIR guidelines.

BUT, it's ok for a woman to systematically kill the unborn child in her womb.Hmmm, perhaps there needs to be safety wombs?

If it saves just ONE child.....<sarcasm

Somebody obviously forgot to tell these two numbnuts the "new Democrat consensus" that the gun control issue was a "loser issue" and that the Democrats "wan't gonna do dat anymo'".

Unfortunately there are some sections of the USA (I'm ashamed to say) where this sort of garbage sits well with the populace. NY, RI, MA, CT, NJ, MD, IL, and the Peoples' Democracy of Kalifornia all come to mind. The morons of NY keep voting into office shrill anti-gun morons like upChuckie Schemer and Carolyn McCarthy. McCarthy's sole issue that got here elected was a promise to further strip away the 2nd Amendment rights of free Americans. She won by a large margin too.

bang

Firearms were specifically exempted from the purview of the Consumer Product Safety Commission because it was well understood that the CPSC would use its powers to effectively ban guns. I wish I had a link to the article that explained the history of that. It was interesting.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Consumer safety is a joke. All they have done is driven the price of production up and the quality down on 90% of the products we need. I remember when a lawnmower could be used to cut grass.

[goldstategop]

Which is exactly what the gun-banners want to see happen. The BS about "gun safety" is simply a smokescreen to hide their true agenda.

[pa_dweller]

"I think we will be able to appeal to the common sense of those who believe very strongly in the Second Amendment."

The magic phrase 'common sense gun control' appears yet again.

[NautiNurse]

Next step: annual inspections for "emissions testing." Add to that a hefty processing fee.
